MAC x Steve J. & Yoni P. Blushes

Peony Petal

MAC Peony Petal Blush ($23.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a bright, medium cotton candy pink with cool, blue undertones and a satin finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a firmer, stiffer consistency. This shade has been released in the past, but the version I received to review for this launch was noticeably harder to use due to the firmly pressed powder. I was able to apply and blend it out enough for fairly even coverage, but it was not easy to use. On me, the color started to fade after eight hours of wear.

The Steve J. and Yoni P. Collection will be available in select stores and online on June 1st.

Sugar or Syrup

MAC Sugar or Syrup Blush ($23.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a brighter, light-medium pink with warm, yellow undertones and a satin sheen. It had good pigmentation with a soft, smooth consistency that was slightly dusty in the pan but did not appear dry or chalky against my skin. The softer texture made this shade easy to blend out and diffuse along the edges, and it was also usable with a lighter touch for sheerer coverage, if desired. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading.
